AuthorTopic: Mouse buttons (Read 4294 times)

Hi I am new to Vector and like it very much. I can't get my forward and back buttons to work. In Mepis, I had to install ' imwheel' and change a few things in my xorg file and everything worked. I looked in the repos and could not find imwheel. Anybody have any ideas? Thanks

I have an MS Intellimouse. When I run "xev" in terminal it shows my 2 side buttons as being 8 and 9. I believe they need to be 6 and 7 in order for them to work as back and forward in firefox. Is there any way of remapping them?
